I figured that I should get this tag out of the way before it isn’t mid-year anymore!! I was nominated for this tag by Maddie at Munch Reviews please check out her fun and wonderful Book reviews, tags and discussions!

1. BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ THIS YEAR?

I don’t give a 5 out of 5 stars out too often, but every once in a while a book comes along the TRULY deserves it!! THIS WAS ONE OF THEM!! Am I beating a dead horse bring this book up AGAIN?? Probably. So I CARE??? Hell’s no!! . LOVED. THIS.BOOK. That’s right, Nina. Break down!! Read the book!! Although, if you hate it? …don’t tell me. I don’t think my heart could take it. Check out my review HERE.

2. BEST SEQUEL YOU’VE READ IN 2018?

I honestly think this may have been the ONLY Sequel that’s read thus far this year! I feel that it would have won regardless though. It was great at a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars! Check our my REVIEW!

3. NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET BUT WANT TO?

I know that this was published last year…. that’s how behind I am!! It even has a SEQUEL already!! I REALLY need to find some time to get to this, I’ve literally heard nothing but good things. Check it out at GOODREADS!

4. MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR?

I honestly CAN’T WAIT for the rest of the Afton series by Brent Jones to come out! I’m so excited to see where it all leads!!

6. BIGGEST SURPRISE?

I honestly couldn’t even remember requesting this book when I was accepted for the blog tour. I remembered, after reading the synopsis that it was only based on the fact that the MCs name was Kali… which is my nickname. Then, I wound up really enjoying it! Dumb decisions FOR THE WIN!! Check out my review HERE.

7. FAVORITE NEW TO YOU OR DEBUT AUTHOR?

I’m going to have to go with my man Rafael Chandler! The Mask Beneath her Face was on of my favourite reads so far this year, and I can’t wait to check out his other novel The Astounding Antagonists!

8. NEWEST FICTIONAL CRUSH?

I don’t think that I’ve acquired a new fictional crush!! …That is so SAD! Now this really IS a mid-year freak out.

At least I’ve been fanning my love for my OLD fictional crushes, by reading variations on how crush worthy he is.

9. NEWEST FAVORITE CHARACTER?

Did is make the list TWICE??? Why yes, IT TOTALLY DID!! Afton is my new spirit animal.

10. BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY?

I’m going to have to pass on this one because I don’t really read books that make me cry!! The last one I read that brought the waterworks would be

14. MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU’VE BOUGHT THIS YEAR?

I’d have to give that to my hard cover, embossed copy of Pride & Prejudice! But, I’ve read so many books with amazing covers this year, it’s hard to choose!!!

15. WHAT BOOKS DO YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THE YEAR?

TOO MANY!! Feel free to check out my GOODREADS if you’d like to see the list!!

I’m sorry everyone… but, I’m going to break the chain and not nominate anyone since “Mid-year” is nearing an end. At the same time, I NOMINATE EVERYONE!! If any of you can squeeze it in I’d love to see what you pick! Please link me in, or comment here when you answer, so I can come check it out!

I am Nicole and I am an avid reader and an alcohol connoisseur.. which it totally different from an alcoholic.. I swear. I am trying to get into the editing world and in doing so I learned that giving my opinions and networking in as many forms of media as I could is the way to get heard! I wanted to create an open forum to pair alcoholic drinks with books based on the theme, feel and/or content of the book.
I will warn anyone who joins me here that you will get a very eclectic range of books as I will read anything from Rom Coms, sci-fi, and fantasy to Bizzaro, Steampunk and Biographies, whatever pairs with an interesting drink! I will also say that I am very honest and I will not pander to the popular or feel the need to give a good review just because I got an ARC read of a certain book. I believe that everyone deserves the truth no matter how much it hurts.. EVEN ME! I would love everyone’s opinions! AND LET THE DRINKS FLOW!! (Let’s just not have the drinks make the honesty get TOO out of hand!) ;p

I think that I’m pretty opposite from everyone! Ha ha! Going through my list for this I realized that I really haven’t read a “normal” triple A kind of title AT ALL!! Ha ha! Well, people won’t see a lot of duplicate reviews out there for most of the books that I choose, at least!

I’m pretty proud of myself for getting to it!! And, drool away! I know that my book choices usually aren’t big popular ones, but they’re AMAZING! I can’t wait for the next half of the year, SO MUCH TO READ!! 😣🤣

That’s even BETTER!! Brent would love that. Afton is amazing! You should definitely check them out (only the 1st one is out, so far) it’s a novella, so a nice short read, and it’s about a homicidal librarian… HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG??

Thanks for tagging me! This was fun. I didn’t realize how different my choices were, until I started this tag!! Ha ha! It was funny to look at my list of read books and think “… I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else review 98% of these!” 😅😂😂

Thank you!! I love it! 💖💖 I can’t wait to get to The Gentleman’s Guide! I’ve waited far too long. I’m hoping I’ll find some time in the next week or so to get to it! I’ve got 3 days off next week because of Canada Day so, fingers crossed!! 🇨🇦🤞🍁

Damn straight!! Wow. This is so off-topic but I just finished THE WEIRDEST book ever… I just had to share that with someone… My brain is broken. Stay tuned this Sunday if you want to hear about it! Ha ha!! Oh my bejeesus…. I just can’t keep this one to myself. Oh Canada, is all I can say.. 🇨🇦😂😂🤔😳

I’m now on my 7th Chris Moore book, 😳 I’m an addict. Can’t even think of reading anything else til I’m done with him, then I’ve promised myself to Brent Jones and his Afton series, and then I’ll be up for something new!

Ha ha!! So, I’ll hit you up next year then! I bet my review on Sunday will make you want to take a break and read something else!! (I am totally kidding… But you HAVE to read this review… Oh sweet bejeesus… My brain hurts…) 🇨🇦🐻👩

I have like 5 copies at least of P&P. So I figured one of them should be super special!! 💖💖 I love it (although, my favourite copy is still my mom’s from school that has all of her notes written in the margins😊)

You’re so lucky three of the Afton series books are coming out so close together! That’s insane that they’re just pumping them out like that. I hope you enjoy everything the rest of 2018 brings to you! 🙂

Omg that 100 Words Horrors is all kinds of hilarious and awesome (though I’m not sure if that was the intent :P) And hell yeah, you should totally read Gentleman’s Guide! Or listen to it! Because I heard the audiobook is narrated by the Tom Riddle guy from Harry Potter and does a fabulous job! 😀

OMG!!! AUDIOBOOK VERSION!!!! This is why I love your blog. YOU ARE SO SMART!!!! 🤓 I love you right now (and always!), I never even thought of that and I could have been through it by now, because I have so much more time to listen to audiobooks. 💖💖🍻😄
And 100 Word horrors is AMAZING!! If you didn’t check out my review; it’s so many different KINDS of horror, and it’s amazing what they can get across in 100 words.. Some of them will have you sitting there after just saying… Wow.

AHAHAHA you’re welcome!! 😂😂😂 I should try the audiobook myself–I’ve just heard so many people praising it lately.
And oh man, 100 Word sounds awesome! And holy crap, it’s only $1.72 on kindle? And only $7.72 on paperback?? And in CANADA no less?? Oh, I’m DEFINITELY picking this up. 😀

I love every part of this post. Lady you are wearing me down on the Horror book! Maybe I’ll have to give in by October. Just so I can say I actually read a horror during the Halloween horror book blog fest that will inevitably happen! 😂
That Jane Austen hard copy is GORGEOUS!
Did you have to use the scene with Darcy going up to Pemberley?! Still waiting for my embossed invitation for my house visit 🤔😙😉

Damn straight!! My staff make fun of me all the time for my love for him. I don’t care. I’m proud of my love for Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy! (or pretty much anything.)
I still absolutely love a quote from him about playing the role of Mr. Darcy,
“I’m fully aware,” Firth told a reporter for the English magazine Now, “that if I were to change professions tomorrow, become an astronaut and be the first man to land on Mars, the headlines in the newspapers would read: `Mr. Darcy Lands on Mars.”
He’s not wrong!! 😂😂💖💖🍻

holy moly lady, you do have a very unique reading selection there! i’m not one for horror. i loved Ray and the Meaning of Life and Go Home Afton. gotten into a few humor novels lately, and some very quirky authors. hey, variety is the spice, so they say!
